ACCIDENTALLY SHoT.--A man named
John Reynolds, who had been living here
for some time, attempted to pay the Arab
game on his creditors last night by folding
his tent ana surreptiously leaving the city.
Mrs C1lvn, his landladv, TO whom he was
n arrears for board and Mr.. Al. Richardson,
who had store bill against the delinquent,
soma how or other were apprised of Rey-
nold's Intentions, and learning he was in the
Virginia Midland Railway depot called
upon special officer Crump to arrest him.
Reynolds, however, refused to be taken into
Gus ady when accosted by the officer and
started to run, which caused Mr.. Crump TO
reach for his pistol, but in drawing it from
Ias pocket the weapon was accidentally dis
charged and the ball penetrated Mr..
Crump's left thigh, making Au ugly but not
dangerous wound. The officer did not give
up the chase, however, but being joined by
friend soon came up with Reynolds and
took him in charge, subsequently conveying
him to the station house. The affair created
considerable excitement and While the pris-
oner was bIing taken down King street
the crowd which followed imagined the
police had captured BILLY Williams" Upon
arriving at the station house, Captain Web
SER decided that Gs no warrant for Rey-
holds arrest had been issued, no could not
be legally detained, and discharged him
hut shortly atterward two young men APP
